Wishing You An Ugly Christmas

Christmas gets Ugly with Bus Stop Toy Shop. We've had a big restock on our friends the Uglydolls today. If you've yet to come across the most sought after soft toy on the planet, then you need to check them out.

Babo (pictured) is currently taking a starring role in the latest HSBC advert, but he's just the beginning. He has loads of Uglydoll sidekicks that can't wait to make friends with you (and maybe steal from your cookie jar, if you're not careful.) As our regular customers will know, popular styles go fast, so jump in and get the ones you want quickly.

Check out our huge range of Uglydolls here.

Full Automoblox Range Now In Stock

One of our favourite products in the shop for a while now has been the Automoblox Minis. Stylish toy cars that are, well, just a bit special. So, it was only a matter of time before their bigger brothers arrived.

We're pleased to bring you the whole range of Automoblox - special toy cars for special children.

Bean World is Back

It's Bean A While (sorry last Bean/Been Joke, I promise) since we've had a stock update on our Bean World products. Well finally, one of our favourite collectables has the exposure it deserves.

If you've never come across Bean World before, they're a fabulous range of Bean Bag soft toys that are, well, beans. Great to collect and great for a simple solution to that hard to buy present, there really is a bean for everyone. Check out our range of Bean World Soft Toys here.

Even More Groovy Girls

Yes, we confess. We can't resist it. Our latest order has arrived, and we've once again expanded our range of Groovy Girls products. We already adore the Pinktastic Retro Roller, and there's plenty more besides. What are you waiting for? Check out our whole Groovy Girl range here.

Sylvanian Families Arrives at Bus Stop Toy Shop

We're forever using this blog to tell you about what's new and cool, but today a change. We're delighted to announce that just in time for Christmas, we've brought the ever popular and highly sought after Sylvanian Families into stock. There's only a few items there just now (Rose Cottage, the Family Car, the Pizza Parlour, and an adorable Persian Cat Baby), but there's more arriving as the week progresses. Wow! We love Sylvanian Families already - check them out here.

Hama Maxi - Huge Restock

We're not quite sure why we're suddenly selling so much Maxi Hama. (Not that we ever complain about these things, of course!) We've always loved the stuff and almost overnight the world seems to have cottoned on to what's so good about it.

Maxi Hama is a bead design system, much like the Hama Midi Beads for older children. It's superb for developing hand eye co-ordination and the best thing about it, is that it allows children as young as three to create a work of art that looks really good. Bus Stop's eldest daughter is a huge fan and has her designs all over her room.

Anyway, we couldn't ignore this recent trend in sales, and we're proud to unveil our largest ever range of Maxi Hama Beads. Check them out. They're an ideal gift for any child of 3 or 4 years old.

Bakugan Now In Stock

Rumoured to be the Christmas number one toy, Bakugan is becoming an instant phenomenon. The collectable battle brawlers are cropping up on Santa's list time and again. We now have a (very) limited stock in store and on our website. For once we'll admit that we cant match the price of some of the major retailers (we're sorry!), but in the (highly likely) event they wind up with none left, you know we can help you out.

Check our Bakugan toys out here.

Big Boardgame Expansion

Bus Stop's getting into the festive spirit all of a sudden. When we opened the boxes of boardgames the other day, we felt like it was Christmas already and time to sit down with the family and argue about the Free Parking rule in Monopoly.

Anyway, we've expanded our range of boardgames vastly, so whether it's a classic like Scrabble or a modern favourite like Alchemist, you're sure to find something to keep the family entertained after the turkey.
